Since then, the radiation levels in
ground and ocean water samples have been rising, according to published Tepco
reports.

The rads are purportedly spiking to
unprecedented levels.

Highest radiation level detected in water found in drainage ditch at Fukushima nuclear plant. (2013, October 24) The Asahi Shimbun, 3 http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/fukushima/AJ201310240061Tokyo Electric Power Co. said it has found the highest radiation levels recorded since it began checking water in drainage ditches in August at its crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant. The utility announced Oct. 24 that it had detected radioactive strontium and other beta ray emitting substances measuring 140,000 becquerels per liter in water sampled in one of the facility’s drainage ditches. The legal standard for strontium emissions is 30 becquerels per liter. TEPCO officials said the high radiation level was detected in water collected on Oct. 23. The levels in water taken on Oct. 22 were 59,000 becquerels per liter.

I believe that nuclear criticalities, not simply contaminated water spills, are contributing to the spiking levels.

The crisis is this contamination is gradually
destroying our atmosphere (via ongoing and voluminous steam emissions at the
site) and, most of all, our Pacific Ocean. This situation has prevailed for
over two years now.

Many observers are starting to sound the
alarm. The current escalation of alarming, mainstream
media reports is noteworthy given the very clear efforts by governments to
manage public representations of the scale of the disaster.

The world's oceans, atmosphere, and land were experiencing severe degradation before the disaster. How has the additional volume of radionuclides affected the ecosystem?

Unfortunately, I cannot offer specific projections of
the environmental damage and human health impacts of this disaster. The ICRP
dose model understates the range of diseases caused by radiation and the
susceptibilities of women and children. Moreover, dose-models do not represent
transgenerational effects, which are likely to be the most problematic because
genetic damage accumulates across generations.

I’ve been watching for signs of animal
anomalies since this disaster began after learning that bird life along the
Central California Coast was significantly adversely affected by Chernobyl
Fallout. Fallout spreads far and the ingestion of radioisotopes have far more
significant adverse effects than our dose-models predict.

WEST COAST ANIMAL ANOMALIES

All
of the headlines listed below were sourced from the main-stream media, with the
exception of the headlines about cockroaches and hermit crabs, which were based
on my personal observations, rather than news reports. Many headlines were
provided by Enenews, which re-prints excerpts from mainstream press articles. I
found other articles in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, The
Washington Post, etc. I've been collecting items for this list over two years now.

A $32-million commercial fishery has inexplicably
and completely collapsed this year on the B.C. coast. The sardine seine fleet
has gone home after failing to catch a single fish. And the commercial
disappearance of the small schooling fish is having repercussions all the way
up the food chain to threatened humpback whales.

Vancouver Sun, Oct. 24, 2013: There have been some puzzling changes
in the behaviour of northern resident killer whales that live off the
north-central coast of British Columbia and Alaska, says a marine mammal
scientist from the Vancouver Aquarium. [...] “They weren’t vocalizing, and that
was quite a striking change after years and years of being very familiar with
how noisy they are and how easy to find acoustically,” [Dr. Lance]
Barrett-Lennard said Thursday. [...] The team has also noticed an unusually
high mortality rate among pod matriarchs, with seven or eight deaths among
older females in the pod in the past two years. Normally, the team notices one
or two deaths per year. The deaths are likely coincidental and not linked, he
said [...]

[excerpted] It began in July 2011. Indigenous hunters in
Alaska’s Arctic noticed ice seals they rely on for food and other uses covered
in oozing sores and losing hair. They were sick and some were dying. [...]

As of this month, despite the international group of
scientists and researchers the declaration pulled together, no cause has been
officially identified for the illness plaguing the ice seals.

[...] walruses and polar bears have
turned up with similar ailments. [...]

Some of the animals were found to also have bleeding and
swelling in their lungs, livers, lymph nodes and other internal organs. [...]

State and
federal marine experts, meanwhile, say the collapse of the walrus harvest is
another example of how wild weather is altering life in native villages like
these that still follow a subsistence lifestyle.

VANCOUVER - Last month, a diver alerted Vancouver Aquarium
staff that he had found a number of dead and decaying sunflower sea stars in
the cold Pacific waters of a popular dive spot just off the shore of West
Vancouver. Within weeks, the tentacled orange sea stars had all but disappeared
in Howe Sound and Vancouver Harbour, disintegrating where they sat on the ocean
floor. And aquarium staff don't know just how far-reaching the
"alarming" epidemic has been, and whether this and other sea star
species will recover. "They're gone. It's amazing," said Donna Gibbs,
a research diver and taxonomist on the aquarium's Howe Sound Research and
Conservation group.

SEA LIONS (Adverse mortality event of
70%-80% of the pups in the spring of 2013)

OAKLAND, Calif. —
The kitchen counter in the home of the Hayes family Is scattered with the
inhalers, sprays and bottles of pills that have allowed Hannah, 13, and her
sister, Abby, 10, to excel at dance and gymnastics despite a horrific pollen
season that has set off asthma
attacks, leaving the girls struggling to breathe

ANALYSISMajia here: There is a pattern. Large
sea mammals are most afflicted. This is probably because they are eating
animals that have bio-accumulated radionuclides, particularly radioiodine and
radiocesium. The animal at the top of the food chain is always the most toxic
in the end.

Land animals have also been impacted,
but the effects are generally less visible, at least presently. Atmospheric
releases have been ongoing and plant life is no doubt accumulating cesium and
other radionuclides. The process of bio-magnification is occurring on land, as
it is in the sea, albeit more slowly.

The ocean has been more contaminated by
Fukushima than the atmosphere. However, earth is a relatively closed system and
much of what ends up in the ocean will circulate beyond the water through
evaporation and consumption of ocean life.

I’m worried. The earth's bio-sphere was in precipitous decline before Fukushima. Could Fukushima be a global tipping point?The scale of the effects
hinted at by these headlines is worrying. I’m sick with the realization that
we’ve ruined ‘the garden.’ It is inconceivable to me that money would be
elevated above the integrity of our ecosystem and our genetic matrix.

Many issues of
national importance to Japan, probably including the state of the Fukushima
power plant, may be designated state secrets under a new draft law. Once
signed, it could see whistleblowers jailed for up to 10 years.

Japan has
relatively lenient penalties for exposing state secrets compared to many other
nations, but that may change with the introduction of the new law. Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe's government has agreed on draft legislation on the issue
on Friday and expects the parliament to vote on it during the current session,
which ends on December 6.

Transparency, accountability, and collaboration are truly needed on an unprecedented global scale to halt and remediate this ongoing nuclear Armageddon.

The White House has given final approval for dramatically raising permissible radioactive levels in drinking water and soil following “radiological incidents,” such as nuclear power-plant accidents and dirty bombs. ...

I, too, have been following the suffering of animals since Fukushima. The death of millions—yes, millions—of piglets across the world is blamed on an unknown disease, but it seems to be from a fungus. As Bobby1 points out, fungus thrives on radiation. All of this is too sad for words.

Yeah, I would say that a potential ELE is 'too sad for words.' However, we have to buck up and regardless of the sad state of affairs, we have to speak up and shout from the mountain tops, ISRAEL DID IT!!!

i have not seen an earthworm in 4-6 months, alive or dead. blackbirds used to be everywhere and i've seen under 5 for the entire month of dec. 2013 and i live on a bird sanctuary. 3 dead baby lizards last month, no trauma to their bodies.

I have a blog where you can find a couple rocks that seem to have developed Copper and turquois deposits on the sides that the rain fell on them. On the bottoms they look just like they did two months before.

And yet in Japan, as in many countries, my classmates' kids push a 'button' to open a door. Oh, and they can't use revolving doors to exchange a fixed amount of heat or a/c because their 'greedy' and 'needy' and 'slothful' parents didn't show them care, fair, share, honor and earn. This radioactive ele should 'not' surprise anyone, unless you're in la-la land, mentally stunted. The exponentially increasing frequency and power of storms are the beasts of seven billion projected int our shared environment: pride, sloth, greed, lust and gluttony did this. And yet rather than change and not 'need' that newer model of phone, my add classmates' add kids will get that new phone, vibrating out of phase with their life rhythm and harmony...degrading the efficiency of every organ in their body, especially the vital brain that further deteriorates other organs...that in turn degrades the brain, that in turn.... Not my sloth. Not my radiation. There is no spoon, there is no radiation. For some of us, the radiation-beast does not come.

"I’m sick with the realization that we’ve ruined ‘the garden.’ It is inconceivable to me that money would be elevated above the integrity of our ecosystem and our genetic matrix."

It is inconceivable because you are a normal human being. You are not one of the ruling sociopaths. To a sociopath, the idea is not only conceivable, it is a critical component to their power and control over the masses. Money is their primary tool for controlling the people, and the people must be made to believe that money is to be elevated above everything, including common sense.

In the past we bartered, we traded, we carried on a human commerce which, in order to effect efficiency, we deposited that commerce/ie: human energy, into two precious metals; gold and silver. Eventually a certain alien group took ever more control of the gold and silver and changed the money into something else; a piece of paper and base metal slugs; soon to be replaced with plastic 'poker chips'. Canada already has plastic, paper money. LOLIn a world where after a million years of evolution of the 'human' species, one brained, two brained, like us, or the three brained variety, a state of light and life will have been reached. The planet's natural ability to generate electricity will be harnassed properly and distributed free of charge to everyone. All fibre needs are provided by a plant like cannabis hemp, from which the people make their: cereal and bread, their cooking oil, their plastics, their clothes, their composts, their wooden building structures, furniture, rugs, tooth brushes, wooden spoons........ I think you get my drift.

In ancient times, things were different before a certain group claiming ownership of everything began writing down their twisted thoughts in a tome they called, The Babylonian Talmud. Everything horrible, nasty, degraded, disgusting, death enhancing destruction of all that is good which Gentiles have built on Our Mother planet, Gaia/Urantia, this cult of life haters has fomented through the last 2500 years. This group of, 'ruling sociopaths,' are hell bent on a massive culling of the 'topside' population, whilst 'they' enscone themselves deep within the earth's crust; where there are massive installations. Read my book; A Journey to the Underside; under my other name. PublishAmerica. 608 pages. In my novel I assembled a whole lot of ideas I discovered in esoteric research concerning hollow earth theory. Yesterday it came to light that tunneling technologies, of which I was not aware, are in fact being used and I had foreseen that tech in my novel.

Yes, deep in the crust is an incredible other world with high speed magnetic subway trains and entire cities within caves the size of entire countries; believe it or not. Jules Verne was onto information; being as how he belonged to an esoteric group with access to knowledge the rest of us are denied. His story, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, is not so far fetched except for the fact that you will come out on the underside of the crust; not the center. You would not want to go to the center of the earth because that is a tetrahedranal iron core which is still VERY hot, and provides the heat necessary for the people living in ancient cultures on the underside of the planet's crust. I go into much more detail in my book. If you check it out, you may discover something more about moi.

My research has led me to conclude that sociopaths are the root of all evil, not money. However, I do have a saying about money -- "Money ruins everything." Money is the primary tool that the root of all evil, the well-organized ruling sociopaths, use to enslave us to serve them. So for us, the unorganized non-sociopaths, it does indeed ruin everything. And we are brainwashed from birth to pursue money as if our lives depended on it.

Michael Tellinger may be very close to the truth here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiVROBhwHUM

A way of life without money would go a long way towards neutralizing the power and control the sociopaths have over the rest of us. Ultimately, the problem of addressing the root of all evil is how to identify sociopaths and disqualify them from any positions of power and control in whatever human society we construct. This has yet to be done in human history, which is why human history is one of such tragic misery and misfortune.

The Year the Monarch Didn’t Appear By JIM ROBBINSPublished: November 22, 2013, http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/24/sunday-review/the-year-the-monarch-didnt-appear.html?_r=2&

...This year, for or the first time in memory, the monarch butterflies didn’t come, at least not on the Day of the Dead. They began to straggle in a week later than usual, in record-low numbers. Last year’s low of 60 million now seems great compared with the fewer than three million that have shown up so far this year. Some experts fear that the spectacular migration could be near collapse...." [end]

Article blames nicotine-based pesticides called neonicotinoids, but I wonder whether Fukushima fallout was the final straw.

One example that could be tied to Fukushima can be found in South Dakota. South Dakota had very, very high readings according to Radnet over the summer of 2011 and 2012 because the jet stream moves up north from Colorado over the Dakotas and Minnesota.

PIERRE — Hundreds of thousands of pheasants mysteriously disappeared from eastern and central South Dakota in the past year. Not enough chicks hatched this summer to offset the losses.

The state Game, Fish and Parks Department left many South Dakotans stunned with its declaration of a 64 percent decrease in its annual brood survey, released Friday.

Possible reasons are many. Drought turned severe in August a year ago and didn’t let up in many places until a cold and wet spring this year. There has been continued conversion of farm acres from conservation reserve to crops. That has meant less dense nesting cover and easier meals for predators.

And in many places there seems to be fewer insects this summer, such as crickets and caterpillars that comprise young pheasants’ diets for the first month of life. [end]

The Audubon Society's 114th Christmas bird count is midway through its annual three-week run, but early reports indicate that some birds are shunning California, likely because of drought conditions and unseasonably warm weather.

Of all the factors that can affect bird numbers, “water is certainly the most important,” said Garrison Frost, director of marketing and communications at Audubon's San Francisco offices.

Volunteer “citizen scientists” in Oakland, the Central Valley, and Lake and Mendocino counties have reported that the numbers of waterfowl, shore birds and some others appeared to be down so far during this year's Christmas bird counts, held Dec. 14 through Jan. 5.

Those and other birds like to feast on the plants, insects and other creatures that are nurtured by water, Frost said. If there's a shortage of food, they won't stop by, he said.

In Mendocino County, there was no shortage of bird species — 129, about average — during the Peregrine Audubon Society's Ukiah-area count, held Dec. 14, said Bob Keiffer, a board member and superintendent of the University of California's Hopland research and extension center.

But bird counters reported seeing fewer waterfowl, including scaup, a diving duck that normally is plentiful, he said....
